What TV’s on at the BFI in March 2018? Including The City and the City and High & Dry

Every month, TMINE lets you know what TV the BFI will be presenting at the South Bank in London

Slightly slimmer pickings than in February, but there’s still a decent selection of showings at the BFI in March. There’s a slightly feminist theme to events, with a Women in TV season kicking off with Nicola Shindler, as well as an exploration of TV girlfriends. Ingmar Bergman’s TV work gets a look in, too, and there’s a showing of Mark of Cain.

On top of that, there are two TV previews: E4’s new castaway sitcom High & Dry and BBC Two’s adaptation of China Miéville The City and the City.

Details after the jump and The Mark of Cain.

Airdates

When’s that show you mentioned starting, TMINE? Including Young Sheldon

Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK

No new acquisitions this week – sad! – but one premiere date has been announced.

Young Sheldon (US: CBS; UK: E4)
Premiere date: Thursday, February 22, 8.30pm

It’s not too surprising that this prequel to The Big Bang Theory should end up on said show’s UK home. It’s also unsurprising that’s it not really very funny at all, given the quality of its predecessor. What is surprising is that it’s actually quite sweet, more a dramedy about what it’s like being a genius growing up in Texas and going to High School when you’re just nine years old. What gags there are come from Jim Parsons’ voice over, but if you go into it thinking of it as a 1990s Physics Wonder Years, you might actually find a few decent things to enjoy.

Weekly Wonder Woman: Batman #40, Justice League #38

Yes, it’s Weekly Wonder Woman – keeping you up to date on pretty much anything involving DC Comics’ premier superheroine, including her pet’s name

A quietish week for Diana in the real world. Gal Gadot is going to voice herself on The Simpsons, Liam Sharp has given an interview about his forthcoming Brave and the Bold team-up between Batman and Wonder Woman, and DC is launching a new line of young adult and middle grade titles that will include Wonder Woman in various guises. But that’s about it.

So let’s go straight for the reviews, where the sexual temptation of Bruce Wayne appears to be the theme of the week. In Batman #40, we see whether Diana and Bruce ever did end up kissing, despite the fact he’s marrying Catwoman soon. Meanwhile, Bruce takes a shine to another member of the Justice League in Justice League #38. What’s Diana doing? Playing with some African kids, of course.

All that after the jump.
